The interview started off with introductions. He was very chill and made the whole thing feel easy and like a conversation. He then asked the basic things he needed to, such as flight times in the last 30/60/90 days and 12 months. Then asked if I was willing to be on reserve and fly my assigned schedule. After those "gotta ask" questions we moved into HR. He asked "why did you choose SkyWest" and "Tell me a about time when you felt uncomfortable in an airplane." He asked what would be some of the biggest differences or changes at SkyWest compared to my current job. We then moved into the technical portion. He asked about "descend via the STAR" clearances and how to comply. He asked about holding speeds and speed limits in class E under the Bravo and...

Started off with introductions, told me about himself, then told him about myself. Had a bunch of generic questions that were yes and no answers about my past and whether or not I was willing to work holidays and stuff like that. Nothing you would need to study for. Then asked if I had any interesting stories about any flights in my career, personally talked about an engine failure and walked him through step by step what happened and how I responded. He asked me ZERO "Tell me about a... -

We first went through housekeeping; confirming my logged hours met ATP minimums, when I would reach 1500 hours before starting into HR questions.

I was asked about previous checkride failures and how I had learned from them. He asked where I saw myself in 5 years and I talked about becoming a captain and working in SkyWest's training... -

Really relaxed interview. Interviewer talked a lot-more of a conversation overall. Went through intros and jumped into high altitude aerodynamics. Definitely study swept wings, critical Mach, Mach tuck etc. went into systems-jet engines and electrical. Just know them well enough to explain-you don’t need to be an expert. Then he went into situational questions-using things he taught me during. Time threats, shared mental models, etc. overall-use this website to study and you’ll... -

Very much as expected from others. I had a Teams interview with an FO, very laid back guy. Went over hours, 30/60/90/365, accidents/incidents/failures. Asked a few "what would you do" questions, possibly drunk crew member (wanted to see that you'd stand up to them, but also evaluate them, instead of smelling alcohol and assuming their drunk). What documents (ARROW), went over the hydraulic braking system in a C172. Asked when do you have to stop at an ILS critical area at an...
